That Boy Smooth

Synopsis: This poem is about a relationship that started in high school based on basketball. A couple of great moments followed by the saddening news of the loss.
Way back when breakfast of the champions was the opposition
Moral victories didn't count; above all was the competition
Conditioned to ambition; we gave each other recognition
In addition, it was our missions to excel at our positions
We spent some more time together; one moment was classic
I took my stepdad's truck and you came with me into traffic
Crashed and even though it wasn't tragic, it felt drastic
That boy smooth; it was you who kept it diplomatic
It was best to follow your advice and composure was kept
Didn't know how to explain it, but you advised to be direct
Ever since then, I attached myself to the honesty chain
Even if it meant pissing people off and causing disdain
Went our own ways, even though our relationship didn't impair
Then I was shaken by some news that was shared
You caught a seizure and was snatched by above
I put one in the air that night simply out of love
